Smiles waking into the kitchen to see Jester a sleep with several bottles of Champaign apple cider around him.
Smiles kicks Jester's leg; Yooo wake up it's time to update plus it's the afternoon.
Jester gets up with deep rings around his face. Walking over to the frig he pulls out a soda drinks the whole thing. Jester makes his way to his desk.
Jester; Hey every one before we start I would like to thank several people for reviewing. Roberto thanks for the excitement for my next post. Madman you finally found me and after that Waldo joke I thought you would never find me. But still thank you. Lord Anubis and anon thank you for liking the direction of my story and it will have plenty of interesting moments.
Smiles; Ok they got their peace now got to the story.
Jester looks at Smiles; You really want me to make Finn to be with Marceline or Flame princess don't you.
Smiles; I still don't get why you didn't do a time skip and let him be with one of them already.
Jester beings to write saying; one they always skip over the interesting parts in a journey with only giving little info. Second Finn will be with whom I want him to be with. Even due I agree that he should be with either of those two. But still we will get there when we get there.
It was a warm summer day the wind was nice filled with the smell of coal. I was lying under my sheets as my prince lied next to me. 'Finally he was mine all the pain of us being separated brought him back to me'. His toned but slender body was nice to see his chest dip down as I listened to him breath was like music. I never want to be apart from him.
As his eyes slowly cracked open I saw his warm eyes ignite my flame for him. Seeing my hair dance his hands glided through them then cupping one of my checks. As his lips ventured towards mine I knew far to well that he was mine.
Then as I felt his breath tickle my noise my eyes opened to see I was alone and looking across my room. With a huff I got up from my bed to look out my window to smell the ash of my home. 'Finn please forgive me I want you back… please'.
Finn's view
Well it's been a few months since the Jack Rabbit I came in second but thanks to the bets on me the Old Gods did well. I still can't believe they thought I was going to come in fourth. But after the Rabbit I have entered in a least twelve races. They were all tough each one pushing me physically to the max. After a few more improvements to the Goddess I soon saw that people were taking notice.
Today I was going to meet Mr. Stream Light his company supplied a lot of metals to the city. In his letter he said he wanted to discuss a little business. After the walk to his office I found it was a nice eight-story stone glass building in the middle of the city. Like many of the other fancy offices this one had a pond with some strange fish in it.
Getting greeted by several other racers in a lounge area I was sent up to the top floor. The main office was nice a stone desk with a bright leather chair. As the chair swiveled to the side I saw the face of the person who sent for me. The guy wore a nice white shirt with a blue vest, tie, and black pants and shoes. Man, "So your Finn the Harold to the Old Gods nice to met you I'm Mr. Stream Light". As the light caught his face I saw he was made completely out of a kind of cobalt stone. Smooth but jagged in some places as he spoke he was calm.
Mr. Stream Light, "Finn if that's ok I'm going to be frank with you I want you to drive for me. I hire many drivers and they always get paid. So work for me I'll get you a new car, a crew, and your future he will be set in stone". I was surprise really at the two things that he said.
The first that he wanted me to get a new rid the others, that he wanted me to get a new crew. 'The old guy's were right… guy's like Stream Light only cared about the money'. I took one last look around his room then said, "Sorry Mr. Light but I don't care about money I just want to race. The Old Gods gave me my start and I'm going to race for them until they say other wise. So until then I thank you but I'll have to decline".
Shaking his head he then said, "Well if you change your mind your welcome to stop by… later"! With that I left his building and went to talk with the Old Gods. Thor shouted at what I told him, "THAT WEASEL TRIED TO GET YOU TO DRIVE FOR HIM I'LL GIVE HIM…"!
Before Thor could finish Loki added, "Look Finn is still our driver. Plus he promised us so relax. From all the winnings Finn's go us lets go out". I wasn't sure why but we left their hangout/ garage to go to the Coreglass district. They were a race that had skin that looked like glass but was soft like a fluffy pillow. Well that's what I was mostly told. Once inside a bar I looked at Odin asking, "Why are we here"? Bmo said from my shoulder, "Cause Finn today is your birthday so happy Sixteenth Finn"!
With that they started to drink as I drank some soda. After an hour every one grow quit as several racers came into our room. With us was every one from the band and two new guys that loved how I race. Mac and Cage wanted to work with us to learn how the classic driver did things. Thanks to them I managed to push the nitro boost to allow me to use it twice.
Two of the racers were pro's but the other three I didn't know. I did recognize Sunny from the several racers we had against one another. Sunny, "Hey Finn I heard you was having a party so I thought I'd come with friends". The party was in full swing Mac and Cage was trying their luck to get dates. I was sitting with Bmo and one of Sunny's friends. Sunny like every one of her friends were Coreglass's but this one Eve was it just stared at me as she played with Bmo.
I looked at her for a while her face was a peach glass color. She had caramel colored short hair like most drivers she had a skin fitting suite. But me I wore baggy blue jeans, white short shirt under my leather jacket. With my favorite black high tops I got them refitted and repaired several times. I just really liked how they felt as I walked.
Eve," Finn have you seen my sisters race yet". Shaking my head she pulled out a wrist desk it looked pretty much like a fancy watch with a screen. Watching the screen I saw Eve's sisters the team of two-called Super V. They had a tandem ride that let them both control and maneuver on their respective side. Both had similar features to Eve, one sister was called Elli the other Vera. Seeing them weave all over the track in the Coreglass silver dust was really something.
I looked up as Heimdallr handed me a microphone saying, "Finn your apart of this band too so lets hear ya' sing buddy". Looking at Eve she giggle then encouraged me to go up as the band started to get things ready. Me, "If I'm going to sing I wanted to sing my own song". Going into my journal I pulled out a music sheet and told the band the tunes I wanted to play.
With the band tuned and every one waiting for me I left the room a few minutes later I came back in a night classic suite and tie. Me, "Gentlemen lets make the good times roll". The music started, as did my singing.
I'm gonna live till I die! I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry, I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down, I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
They're gonna say "What a guy!" I'm gonna play for the sky. Ain't gonna miss a thing, I'm gonna have my fling, I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low, they'll never trail over my head. I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, but until then Hallelujah.
Gonna dance, gonna fly, I'll take a chance riding high, Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup, I'm gonna live, live, live, until I die!
The blues I lay low I'll make them stay low, they'll never over my head. I'll be a devil, till I'm an angel, but until then Hallelujah.
Gonna dance, gonna fly, I'll take a chance riding high, Before my number's up, I'm gonna fill my cup, I'm gonna live, live, live, until I die!
With the songs end every one clapped a cheered even Odin shimmed in saying, " Finn you've been holding back on us. You could have told us that you could sing". With a small blush I scratched the back of my neck saying, "Well I only sung short lyrics before not a full song". As he laughed he slapped my back slightly as the party continued.
After at least another two hours we left I changed back as we made our way home. With Sunny and her friends wanting to stop by the garage. Rounding a corner I spotted a thug playing with a switch knife. Stepping into the light we saw he wasn't along a several others joined him. 'The one day I choice to not bring my sword'. Thug, "Ok hand over the gold and no one gets hurt". Stepping forward with a smirk I said, "I've been wondering when I was going to fight someone". Cracking my knuckles a few charged me as I took up my barehanded stance. (Authors note; Finns barehanded style is like Steve from Tekken just a little more basic).
It didn't take long maybe three minutes for me to deal with the thugs. Mac, "Finn when did you learn those moves"? I blink at his questions saying, "Remember before I got here I was an adventurer so I'm use to fighting with nothing or anything around me". Satisfied with my answer we went our separate ways but I saw more of Eve after that.
In the next three races she took Sunny's place it was nice just like Sunny she pushed me. Until a particular race I used the second nitro boost at the final stretch and took the win. It was great to win the prize and the cool liquid metal jumping running around inside the metal trophies insides. After that I won at least three other races but little did I know a gang took a huge hit at my last win. Losing a lot of money and looking at me for the blame.
Mac and Cage came into the garage bleeding am beaten. Mac, "Finn please help the Gort's gang told us that if we didn't pay they would hurt us. We didn't we told them we knew you and that nothing they did would change our minds. *Sobs* Finn they took our gramps". Mac was in tears and Cage was right with him. I went to my room and came back with my gem wood sword saying, "Where are they"?
Cage, "Finn your crazy no one messes with them please just let us pay them back and it'll be over". Nodding my head no I said, " Guy's no one messes with my friends especially some money hungry punks. Now tell me where". It didn't take me long to find the gang kicking down the shanty metal door I startled them. I saw the guy's gramps hanging upside down from some chains. Me, "Let the old guy down and I might let you walk away".
The gang laughs as their biggest one said, "There are forty of us and one of you tiny. What you going to do"? Reaching over my back I pulled my sword as I leapt into the air with my battle cry. It was easy once the big guy was dealt with the rest either ran or used random things in the warehouse to attack me. After a few minutes I looked up to see the old guy was still hanging from the ceil.
Helping the old guy down from the chains onto a catwalk was good. He was in a lot of pain but as he finally stood up a whistle rang through the room. Pushing him away I was knocked over the edge into a free fall grabbing a hanging chain.
It was the big guy from before just holding a rocket blaster and missing one arm. Thug, "You punk do you know how they make liquid metal. Well your going to find out". A rumble echoed under me as I saw sparks off liquid electricity cracked and zipped in the open air. Trying to swing clear was pointless as he shot the ceiling and I fell into the chemicals below. On contact my body twitched and snapped in various ways. It felt like my very bones were melting in my skin and my hair was on fire. 'Shit I feel strange can't think straight… sorry guy's I feel so tired'.
Meanwhile back at OOO
I was staring at the tall figure in my doorway he looked just like he did all those year ago. Crossing my arms I floated forward saying, "Long time no see D… still kicking around". D with his same unmoving look and very similar outfit from when we dated walked inside to close the door. D, "Finn told me you lived in this area so I thought I should drop by when I was close".
He caught my attention at that I quickly got in his face saying," Finn is he with you right now"! D shook his head said, "Finn left my company a while ago to move on with his journey. His letter gave no clear indication to where he was going. Just that he had fun bounty hunting with me". D parasite spoke up, "Well he was hard headed but I see why the kid like you Marceline. Even if I was for a short time".
I blushed at what he said my blue check turning a different color as I snapped back saying, "Finn and I was never like that you little leech". He only returned saying, "But from your expression you had the idea even now you still want it to come true. But from what Finn's told us he tried three times here only to be shot down hard. To tell you the truth I not surprised he left".
His words cut hard Finn did pour his heart into everything he did. Especially to the people he cared deeply for. I just could never get my feeling across to him.
D," Marceline if he does come back tell him how you feel. I sure after some time to think he might just take your offer". With that D left as I was not longer floating but standing deep in though. 'Finn please come back I want to hug you like we did on your adventures. Even if they were brief I felt so safe with you please come back…. I'm sorry'.
